Special visit of the temporary exhibit at the Picasso Museum

The Picasso Museum has been displaying a great temporary exhibit since July, in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum of Amsterdam about the first years Picasso stayed in Paris.

"Feasting on Picasso" explores how the cultural and social life in Paris quickly influenced his art, introduces us his marchands, friends and lovers and follows the evolution of his style comparing it to the masters of the impressionism such as Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and others, until everything explodes into the emergence of cubism.

I was really happy when I received a call from Sandra from Contempla, one of the top travel agencies in Barcelona, asking me if I could give a special tour of the exhibit for one of their groups. Feasting on Paris had been in my "must-see" list since it was innaugurated, but this season has been so busy I hadn't had the opportunity to go yet.


I had a few hours of free time, so I run to the Picasso Museum to prepare my museum tour: I walked around the rooms taking notes, sat to read the catalogue, and then back home I did some more research on the internet and the books on Picasso I have at home. It was a very productive day!

I gave the museum tour on Friday, and even if the clients had less time for it than it had been planned at first, I manage to give them a nice overview, and I got congratulated for the job. I'm so happy to get this opportunities to share my passion for Picasso with other people! Plus temporary exhibits are a great way to refresh my knowldege and open-up to new points of view about the permanent collection aswell!
